To make the sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, lemon juice, oil, broth or water, oregano, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Process until nearly smooth, stopping the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the bell pepper.
To make the chicken and broccoli rabe: Place the chicken in a pie plate and spoon 3 tablespoons of the garlic-parsley sauce over. Turn to coat, cover, and let stand while heating a barbecue grill to medium-hot.
Grill the chicken, covered, turning once, for 8 minutes, or until lightly charred and no longer pink in the thickest part. Transfer to a clean plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Microwave the broccoli rabe according to the package instructions. Divide among 4 plates, and place a chicken breast on top. Spoon the remaining sauce over and serve.
